See's Candy Carmel Sauce

Taken off Sugerdoodle!! Tried this today.  I used dark brown sugar instead of light and I used the canned whipped topping instead of heavy cream!  I just squirted in about 3 cups worth of the fluffy stuff and mixed it in!  If you try it this way however, try to use a little less butter.  If you cook this longer... you basically get a See's sucker.  Try it.  It's fun!  As I cooked it a little longer on medium heat, it started to thicken and the oils separated from the carmel.  I bloched up the excess oil.  Then I poured it into a mould with a stick, let it cool and it was done.  Don't over cook or it will burn.  You just cook it for about 3 minutes more.

Beware…it’s probably a zillion calories! There is lots of butter in this recipe!  Drizzle sauce over homemade vanilla ice cream, a bundt cake, gingerbread, bread pudding or cobbler.

INGREDIENTS:
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
pinch salt
1/2 cup heavy cream

In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt butter. Add sugar and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add salt and cream; bring to a boil over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring, for 2 minutes. Cool for 15 to 20 minutes; drizzle over your favorite dessert. (Makes about a cup)
